DETAIL
Isobutylamine is an organic chemical compound (specifically, an amine) with the formula (CH3)2CHCH2NH2, and occurs as a colorless liquid. Isobutylamine is one of the four isomeric amines of butane, the others being n-butylamine, sec-butylamine and tert-butylamine. It is the decarboxylated form of the amino acid valine, and the product of the metabolism thereof by the enzyme valine decarboxylase.

Isobutylamine may be used in the synthesis of N-i-butyl-9(Z),12(Z),15(Z)-octadecatrienamide by reacting with trilinolenin. It can also react with tropolone to form a hydrogen-bonded complex, iso­butyl­ammonium 7-oxo­cyclo­hepta-1,3,5-trien-1-olate. Fullerene (C60) can undergo oxyamination with isobutylamine to form polyamines.
